MA, MN, NY, PA, TX & WA] and for large public libraries throughout the rest of the country.

It's a fitness plan so simple it's stunning. So simple, in fact, it's disguised as a guide book. Fun on Foot resonated with me instantly. …
While I love city guide books, there can be a sort of smug superiority in that type of production. Fun on Foot, on the other hand, is very
accessible and friendly, as well as informative. In a very real way, Fun on Foot is a guide book, but it's also much more.

Travelers who enjoy exercising and would love to tour Washington DC can now do both with a exciting new guide book called: Fun On
Foot in America's Cities. What we found most enjoyable about the new guide is the handy tips such as which Washington DC
neighborhoods are best for walking, average temperatures, a map to plan your route, and what to look out for along the way.

Ever been in an unfamiliar metropolitan area and felt the urge to walk or jog off a meal or just stretch after a plane flight? Fun on Foot in
America's Cities … can help you find a safe and scenic route in big cities.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
While city life presents the most unique challenge to outdoor exercise, Fun On Foot in America’s Cities provides fifty interesting
walking/running/inline-skating routes in fourteen metropolitan areas. Business travelers especially will make good use of this book.
ForeWord Magazine
Fun on Foot in America's Cities is ideal for business travelers, avid runners, active vacationers, and anyone who likes to explore the
urban outdoors. Most routes are 6 to 10 miles, which at first blush might intimidate novices, but the routes are so well chosen, and the
Fords' enthusiasm and expertise so infectious, that when you reach the end you'll want to start all over again.

"Fun on Foot" is a new tome designed to help exercisers stick to their fitness program while away from home on business or on vacation.
Authors Nola and Warwick Ford mapped out 50 "irresistible" running routes in 14 major U.S. cities, using the criteria of comfort,
convenience, attractions and a worthwhile destination.
New Jersey Star-Ledger
I like the casual attitude and other readers should also enjoy this easiness. The history lessons are very informative and a great addition
for runners to ponder on when moving on foot around the area. The running routes provide runners with an interesting selection of city,
water, forest, and historic parkland venues. Runners like choices and the variety of routes will keep the boredom away. The route maps
with supporting mass transit information will put runners at ease and it gives a good feeling of added security for individuals new to the
area.
Harry Greco, runner for 40 years and frequent traveler, Boston
I like the approach of appealing to the reader’s sense of and desire to have “fun.” I also like the four attributes used to evaluate a run.
With respect to Chapter 10 on “Big D”, it hits the nail on the head: lots of shopping, friendly people, and crazy traffic. The running routes
described are great for locals or visitors!
Steven Cox, running addict and eight-time Marine Corps Marathon finisher, Dallas
As a runner I found the whole concept to be an especially appealing one. I lived on the Upper East Side for about seven years so I am
quite familiar with the Manhattan routes outlined, although I had never thought of doing both bridges in one run! Also, in all the time I was
there I never really saw all that much of Brooklyn, so at some point I will be sure to try out the two routes the authors have come up with.
Basically, I found the book very enjoyable to read.
Allen Volchuk, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, Toronto, and avid runner; formerly of New York
The concept of the book is wonderful. I especially liked how it stressed providing some sort of reward for each of the runs/walks. Having
a carrot at the end of the stick helps me to keep going on the long runs, and brunch or a cold beer always does the trick. The description
of the weather conditions from the Wharf to the Beach Chalet was perfect.
Ric Bremer, San Francisco
Wow, what an accurate and informative description of our great city. I learned a bit of history and was also reminded of two pubs we must
visit. The three routes picked are excellent and the detail of the descriptions is excellent. Great work!
